Entertainment: I just want to be a screenwriter

"I'm obviously the boss, but he doesn't take me seriously at all, damn it!

Yang Mi was so angry that she clenched her fists and stomped her feet, just because she couldn't star in this script.

Seeing Yang Mi being angry like this, even Zeng Jia was very surprised.

Yang Mi like this, she really saw it for the first time.

However, she is also very optimistic about this script, so she still has to ask Di Li as a screenwriter

"What are your plans?" Zeng Jia asked Di Li to see what he was going to do.

Di Li does have his own plans, of course, he doesn't just plan to write screenplays.

The screenwriter's market in China is not good.

Because in the domestic entertainment industry, screenwriters are the lowest status.

actor, director, screenwriter, among the three identities, the screenwriter is the worst.

Not only the one with the worst status, but also the one who earns the least.

At present, domestic screenwriters, only screenwriters of original scripts, the manuscript fee is high.

Now there are too many remakes in China, and there are relatively few original scripts.

Now in China, the mainstream is remakes and adaptations, and there are more of these scripts, accounting for the vast majority.

Therefore, the original script will be paid high in China.

And the original script, not that every one can be paid high.

Only that kind of drama, not an original script like an idol drama, has a high salary.

But no matter how high it is, the highest salary for domestic screenwriters is 150,000 RMB per episode.

This kind of salary, for the rice country, the cold country, and the island country, the difference is too far.

If Di Li just wants to be a screenwriter, he can't make as much money as a star making a movie for a year

Let's put it this way, the mainland's top star actors and top screenwriters.

An actor can get a salary of four or five hundred thousand yuan for one episode, and the highest screenwriter is 150,000 yuan, which is the gap

Even if he is a top screenwriter, he can write one episode a day, which is 4.5 million a month and 54 million a year.

But what about actors? filming one drama a year, according to 500,000 episodes, now domestic idol dramas are basically about 50 episodes, one drama has more than 25 million, and two dramas are 50 million.

The screenwriter can only earn 54 million for 365 days a year, while the actor who shoots two plays a year is already 50 million, and this is just two plays.

Some stars, like Hu Ge, Yang Mi, and Liu Shishi, are normal to shoot three or four dramas a year.

After all, star actors make money quickly.

And celebrities are not only the remuneration for filming, but also have a lot of income from commercial activities and endorsements.

Screenwriters don't have endorsements, they can only write them.

If he was just a screenwriter, Di Li felt that he made too little money.

It's true that he doesn't want to be an artist, but a film and television producer, it's different.

Because the producer of film and television dramas can get a share.

The producer is the person who is solely responsible for the film and television drama.

Script coordination, preliminary preparation, formation of film crew, selection of actors, cost accounting of filming funds, execution of shooting production, post-production, and assistance to investors in domestic and foreign distribution.

The producer is also the master of the crew, and the highest authority of the film crew has the right to decide on the hiring of outstanding members, as well as the right to fire members who violate discipline in the crew.

The producer is at the heart of the whole film.

Di Li is interested in this, he wants to be a screenwriter and a producer.

Only when he becomes a producer will he earn more.

"Of course I want to be the producer of this work if I have the ability to do so. "

"It's just a pity that I don't have the money to invest in filming this drama. "

"So it can only be to pull investment. Di Li said his plan to invest in this drama.

"It's for sure, what is the expected production cost of your play?"

Zeng Jia asked this question very well.

"30 million. Di Li said the price of his production.

"30 million?" Yang Mi was startled when she heard this investment cost.

"Are you kidding? I only invested 3 million in "Fairy Sword 3" back then. "

This is true, and Di Li has also understood it.

However, the filming of "Fairy Sword 3" at that time was invested and filmed in 08, and the 3 million at that time was not comparable to the current 3 million.

And the special effects production of "Fairy Sword 3" is indeed a bit rubbish.

The TV series "Water Moon Cave Sky" was actually produced in 03, and the special effects in the original book are not very good, and it is a classic work that relies entirely on the actors' acting skills, martial arts skills and plot.

But now, the younger generation of actors can no longer find young actors with martial arts skills like the original book.

If the plot remains the same, if the acting skills and martial arts scenes are insufficient, then put some effort into the special effects, at least surpassing the original in terms of special effects.

Di Li also believes that as long as he is given a cost of 30 million, he will definitely be able to make "Water Moon Cave Sky" even better, and it will also make the audience shine in terms of special effects.

In 2013, a costume magic drama invested 30 million, which can be said to be a fantasy, and no one dared to try to do it.

No one dared to try, but Dili did.

Because he knows that as long as he saves the cost of the actor's salary and gives at least 20 million to the post-production cost, it will definitely make this work surpass the classics.

Moreover, he feels that this drama can still be popular with many people.

"Do you dare?" Di Li provoked Yang Mi and asked her if she dared to invest.

"3,3,3000..."Yang Mi was already frightened by this number.

"That's right, it's better for you to borrow 30 million from the boss to invest in me. "

"Two years later, I will pay you back 32 million. Di Li discussed with Yang Mi, the boss.

"I'm crazy about me. Yang Mi was so angry that she asked her to lend money to Di Li to invest.

"It's up to you to see if you want to, if you do, then I'll sign a contract with you. "

Di Li really hasn't thought of a good way to attract investment now.

If Yang Mi was willing, of course he would be very willing.

"Hmph. Yang Mi snorted and rolled her eyes.

"You will settle the account, let me lend you money to make it, and then when the work is made and sold, you will be able to make money, and you, this is an empty glove white wolf. "

Yang Mi didn't think she would be so stupid.

"What is the white wolf with empty gloves? Didn't I promise you that I would give you 2 million interest in two years. "

Di Li spread his hands and looked at Zeng Jia, meaning to say: Sister, you have to prove it for me.

"Don't. Yang Mi simply refused, and said very ironly: "I have debuted for so many years, and I haven't earned 30 million yuan, how can I lend it to you." "

Di Li, who was rejected, was not in a hurry, and discussed with Yang Mi again: "In this way, you lend me 30 million, then I will allow you to bring capital into the group, how about it?"

"Bring capital into the group?" Yang Mi, who originally refused, was really a little moved when she heard this.
